1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

Campylobacter enteritis is the most common bacterial foodborne disease in humans. Long-term use of antibiotics in chicken production may result in antimicrobial resistance in Campylobacter strains. Information on the antimicrobial resistance profile of Campylobacter species among free-range chickens in Ethiopia is scarce. Hence, this study aimed to determine the prevalence and antimicrobial resistance of Campylobacter jejuni and Campylobacter coli among free-range chickens in Amhara National Regional state, northwest Ethiopia from November 1, 2022 to April 30, 2023. Cloacal swabs were collected from free-range backyard chickens, directly inoculated onto modified charcoal cefoperazone deoxycholate agar, and incubated at reduced O2 concentration at 42°C for 48 hours. Suspected colonies were confirmed at the species level using matrix-assisted laser desorption ionization time-of-flight mass spectrometry. The associated factors were analyzed using the Fisher exact test. A P <0.05 at 95% CI was considered statistically significant. Among the 286 cloacal samples, 15.0% (n = 43/286; CI: 10.2-19.5) were positive for Campylobacter species. C. jejuni (60.5%) was more frequent than C. coli (39.5%). Of the total isolates, 62.8% (n = 27/43), 51.2% (n = 22/43), and 16.3% (n = 7/43) of the Campylobacter species were resistant to tetracycline, ciprofloxacin, and erythromycin, respectively. Of the total Campylobacter species isolates, 9.3% (n = 4/43) were multidrug resistant. Campylobacter species resistance to tetracycline and ciprofloxacin was high in general among backyard chickens. Multidrug-resistant Campylobacter species were also identified, and they require special attention to prevent the potential dissemination of the strains to humans in the community.
